2018 AFL -Trade Rumours and Discussion

Re: 2018 AFL -Trade Rumours and Discussion

Hoping we get something out of Brisbane this year, not a future pick. If Brisbane have to give pick 22 as well for Neale, I don't think we should let Adams go, unless a third party comes to the trade with a pick or picks from this year.

Re: 2018 AFL -Trade Rumours and Discussion

If the report is accurate I'd like to hear why Adams wants to leave us? Is it purely financial or is there any reason reason why?

The Lions have pick 22 and as much as I'd like to see us play hardball I think we would need to add our pick 42 to the mix to come close to getting the deal done.

If it's not for a draft pick I wonder if we still have an interest in Ben Keays or could it be Sam Mayes?

If Adams goes we have Collins gone , Morris in his last year and Roberts unlikely .
Dare I say it , do we need another key back ?

I tend to recall a bid on Keays from us

Correct. Same year we drafted Dunkley and Collins....and Adams
Adams has played 27 games since we drafted him, Keays has played 28 but only played 2 this year

I wouldn't be giving them anything back. Pick 22 or he stays with us and honors his contract.

We hold the upper hand.

Thats why I'd like to hear the reasons why he wants to go. If it's financial then we play hardball if it's something else we might have to be a bit flexible.

If we trade Adams for anything less than 22 its quite frankly a pathetic result.

As I suggested, would you take MCStay ? It might be player swap.

Are we overrating him?

We have all of the leverage and he's worth more than their 3rd pick. Doing equity in trades is for losers and gets you nowhere - look at all the good being fair with Essendon in the Crameri trade did us with Stringer.

I think Adams is a a good enough talent to persist with through his contract and try to change his mind than to trade away for something adjacent to market rate.

Could be a player trade or a combination of draft picks. I'd be surprised if they parted with pick 22 straight up

I'd have no problems playing hard ball with him either. At some time a club has to take a stand

Maybe, but Brisbane have a player wanting to go to them instead of leaving them. That alone in this day and age adds more value from our POV.

Re: 2018 AFL -Trade Rumours and Discussion

I'm actually not surprised Go dogs.
I thought, watching his body language and the complete and utter devastation you could see on his face, that he was deeply disturbed and repentant for his actions
.
And to me, it wasn't just about being disappointed at missing the flag. It seemed much bigger and deeper.

He looked completely hollow, broken, ashamed and haunted.

To pack your bags and leave the scene of the crime for a truckload of money and 'geographical safety' and play for another team in Melbourne I don't think was going to satisfy his need for forgiveness and repentance.

I absolutely think it's the right thing to stay and I really admire him for it.
I think it would have been wrong to run away.

He's gonna stay in Perth, face the music and redeem himself..........good on him.

I said as much to an eagle supporter I know. I thought he SHOULD and WOULD stay, against everyone's expectations

I made the case for drafting Ben King a while back for much the same reasons.

However if we are happy to let Adams go I hope we have a plan. A plan that involves Steve May!
